The turn based nature of the combat itself will be more tactical and easier to think about for sure, which I quite like... There is a sense of urgency with the BG1 and 2 real time combat with pause that you won't get here, but overall, I think I'm on board to give it a real shot.

The bottom line is I would hate to have a game that I have been waiting on for so long, be ruined by my pre-determined bias and not having have tried it yet. Larian know more about games than I do, so I'm inclined to trust their decision until I've played it for myself


I perfectly understand what you say,for a D&D aproach on a game there's not much to complain mechanic wise,I would tone down shove and jump and I'm curios about how enemies works since the Intellect devourers didn't use their multiatack and they didn't have any resistances,I hope they dont auto adjust the monster cr to your lvl or something like that. But yes,overall any D&D is bound to be happy with the game and I'm glad for it,that's what Larian is aimin for.

I wouldn't call it a bias,not for me at least,I just cannot see BG when they played it or the 4 or 5 times I've seen it after to dissect it xD.
